Los Angeles and the King Cole Trio

Nat Cole and three other musicians formed the "King Cole Swingers" in Long Beach
and played in a number of local bars before getting a gig on the Long Beach Pike for $90 per week.

Nat married a dancer Megan Robinson, who was also with Shuffle Along, and moved to
Los Angeles where he formed the Nat King Cole Trio. The trio consisted of Nat on piano,
Oscar Moore on guitar, and Wesley Prince on double bass. The trio played in Los Angeles throughout
the late 1930s and recorded many radio transcriptions. Nat's role was that of piano player and leader of the combo.
